A bit rougher than last year, but no issues. Thin layer of snow in shaded higher elevation areas, but relatively flat, so not really a risk of slipping.

Drove to the end of the road and onto Branch 1000 in a Crosstrek. No snow, a few ruts in the steep lower section, and there may have been couple of very shallow ditches that shouldn't stop any vehicle unless it's very low clearance (I didn't pay super good attention to when Branch 1000 started, so it's possible all the ditches were on the branch). Also drove a little ways in towards Stacey Lake to park & hike up to Woodside from there.
